A little about myself:
My name's Jon Eleyet and I like making videos about guitars! Sometimes the videos are about a goofy guitar that I made out of Fruity Pebbles, other times it's a tutorial about guitar tone. In either case, my goal is to make your life better by giving you a laugh or unlocking a new skill.
I've had my 500x for a while now, but had some real buyer's remorse until I found your videos. Thank you!
Really? Was it difficult to use at first?
@@JonEleyetGuitar Just a bit overwhelming with all the available settings. But I now love the pedalboard mode with my Laney Cub12R
Agreed at least 20 hrs plus UA-cam videos to even start understanding this. Super overwhelming. I finally set up a clean channel, dirty channel, and blues channel. Thank god for these videos would have never figured it out was ready to return it to GC
Same here! Awesome video. My 500x was locked on the "My Bad" and "Creamy Solo" presets for like 4 years bc who has time for manuals and for learning all those buttons!
this type of video made me want to learn my podhd500 again after giving up on it for many years.
Got one of these recently and I have found your channel so useful for helping to understand the HD500X so I've subscribed to your channel, thanks!
Daaamn this is SO enlightening, thank you so much, Jon! I didn't even know this setting existed on the POD! This has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me!
dude! you are incredible- just watched 3 of your vids as i JUST got an hd500x and the way you explain things and demo it to how its actually used in a band is the best i have seen. i am definitely going to check out all your other HD500 vids now haha seriously AMAZING work here!
Excellent videos, thank you! I've been learning a lot from these 👍🏻 I really appreciate videos like these, and for free too! What a time to be alive 😄
Well done, Sir...WELL DONE!! Clear and distinct presentation with no disturbing background music like so many others...|-)
tHANK YOU FOR THE DETAILS. I appreciate the time you took for this.
Great explanation and presentation, easy to digest! I don't have a POD, used to have ME-50 but never learnt to used it. Looking at getting a multi FX again and maybe this time I can finally use them properly!
Great Jon, so clear and easy to follow. Fantastic, thank you
amazing bro, you should have more subscribers...you explain everything really good and you make it simple
Hey Jon, Thanks so much for explaining this. I've owned my HD500 for years, and yes it's a bit archaic now, but it's really doing the job at church and in the studio. I've never used preset mode, but I'm going to try it tomorrow. I appreciate you, man!
Great video, thank you for making this board so much clearer.
Brother Jon
Thank you so much for your thorough breakdown of this tool. You’ve opened up the door to a plethora of possibilities for me.
Your new subscriber,
Jahi Asad
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and information! You made it very easy to understand. Even though these pedalboards are old, they're new and confusing to me.
Very well explained. I'm usually hooked up to a computer so I use Line 6 edit, but then if I'm out somewhere without the laptop, I'm kinda lost trying to use the screen the way most people probably do. This was really helpful. In fact, it looks like it's easier to assign foot switches just using the pedal instead of using the software.
This was great - you have clarified a lot for me. Thank you so much
Great vid! Ty for taking the time to explain it!
This video is great! I'm playing a gig with a band I've never played with next week and I've never used my POD live! This helps alot!
Awesome!
This is excellent! I’ve been using my POD at church for a while now and I’ve been thinking of switching to Preset mode to minimize tap dancing.
Thank you young man! big help for this old rocker...
Well Explained 👍
You just got a new subscriber
Wow sounds great. Please make more videos about HD 500x
Getting one of these to replace my m13 and the multiple fx on one switch sounds so much easier than scene mode thanks for the info 👌
Awesome videos! I'm gonna grab a pod pretty soon, so you're helping me out quite a bit.
Great to hear!
Keep up the good work mate live your videos
Your videos have been so helpful I am a brand new user of the line 6 hd500x got it so I can hook it up to my dt50 and get that custom link set list of presets. But thank you very much this helps us to be able to use the POD as a standalone effects pedal each within its own assignable parameters and locations. Very much transforming it into a M9 but way cooler. Can't wait to get the bass pack!
That's awesome. How do you like the DT50??
@@JonEleyetGuitar it's a pretty amazing boutique amplifier great on its own if you don't plan to use the line 6 Link. You could use any standard two channel footswitch and you have yourself a pretty powerful little 50/100 watt tube head with 4 models per channel. Highly recommend finding a used head even a dt25 before they disappear 😉 they're already discontinued but they're amazing 😍
@@DiegosaurusThesaurus Sounds sweet. Thanks for the recommendation.
great video. you put a lot of effort in it. Subbed🙂
Best hd500 video I’ve seen yet! Sooo good man, thank you. So another question, can you set banks or setlists to interchange between pedalboard or preset mode? For example, I want setlist 1 to be a pedalboard but setlist 2 to be presets.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
Thanks Jon!
Excelent !!!!! Thank you a have the PODHD500 is virtually the same algorithm
Thank you, Jon. God bless.
Thanks for the videos man you've helped me a lot...I figured out how to do midi controls with the hd500 and now I can do double kick with my unit...if you haven't done it you could make a video about this things midi capabilities...your videos are awesome man thanks for what you do
Can you elaborate?
Thank you! Very helpful
That was really helpful! Many thanks :)
Of course! Thanks for watching
Jon, these videos are excellent. I had the H500x for years but it sat in the case for a long time because I just couldn’t figure it out. Your videos are getting me back to discovering the value of this thing.
Two questions for you.
1. So, when you play live do you just run the POD directly to the PA with no amp? Or do you run it through an amp live. That part confused me because it seems like running it through an amp would suddenly change the sound of all the presets I’ve created just using the POD.
2. In 2022, do you think this board is still relevant? Or do you think it’s time to upgrade to something more current?
great vids. A basic Worship preset set up video would be awesome. If you could show it how to do it using the software even better...Great job on these vids!!
Sittin in mah squeaky chair! Thanks for the videos brother.
Thank you Jon I’ve been watching these line 6 hd500x vids I’ll be watching till I get it lol I don’t know why I’m having so much trouble with mine. I guess cuz I used to own the x3 live and I’m confusing myself lol
I love u boss dis is exactly wat I needed at dis point tanks boss love u
So cool. Please do more videos about hd500x
Thanks for making these vids. Most of us guitarists are lazy. We don’t want to learn to read music let alone read the instruction manual. In theory these should be easy as a plug and play, but not really due to settings and configurations.
Awesome video, solved a few nagging things for me, THANK YOU!!
I've had the POD HD500x for maybe 4 years and didn't even realize there was a pedal mode. i always used preset mode. So maybe I will experiment with pedal mode. thanks!
Awesome! Glad you learned something new. Let me know what mode you like best.
Thanks Jon! I play in church and just upgraded from the BOSS GT-1 to this pedal board, so it's learning curve with the different operating system, been watching your videos and it's easier than reading the manual. One question, since you play in church, with the Hillsongs type of sound, do you think the AC-30 works better than a Fender type amp?
Use both amps in stereo if your can! As far as I can tell, Nigel Hendroff used AC-30's back in the day. Now, it seems he's using a more Fender-y amp tone.
Been watching tons of your videos, they are great, just ordered mine today. I play at my church, when I’m not on the acoustic in the leading position I’m on the lead guitar. Your videos have been awesome. How would you overall rate the line 6 compared to a traditional stomp box set up in the worship setting?
That's awesome to hear! The 500x is awesome to play at church. It's super portable and you can really dial in your settings with all the customizability that it has. I dive super deep into preset mode and make custom presets for each song. Also, I use the built in amp simulators, so when I rehearse at home, I plug headphones into the 500x and I can rehearse with the exact same tones as I use when I play on stage.
you are a God send. THank you
Really helpful
Thank you man.
Thank you for this. You explain it clearly and concisely so that even a moron like myself can understand.
Brilliant video. very clear. sorry including with your monitors you are also using In Ear Monitors as well ? is that what those things are ? thanks so much. cheers Jon
Yup, I was using in-ears. They're made by MEE Audio. Pretty good for the price. Shure 215's would be the next step-up.
John in letter mode can You assign midi for amp Channel switching in conjunction with what you showed us?
Thank you fo yet again another awesome video!
So this has a snapshot like function. Like the helix. This is awesome.
Are you sharing your patches? I really enjoyed your preset A and B. I noticed that your are a worshiper just when you started playing. Great job!
Thanks! I should have patches coming soon.
I got question can you have one bank with a few pedalboard modes and have another bank with presets made. Ive only made tons of presets but would be cool to have a couple of pedalboards to play around with like my real pedalboard. Thanks and awesome video.very detailed. 👍
thanks ¡ great info
Thanks for watching man!
Thanks 🙏
Hi Jon, I just purchased my HD500X today and I am not the most tech savvy guy. I am the lead singer in my band and I play guitar, so I need something easy so I dont do a tap dance while I am trying to sing. Just a couple of basic amp sounds and if I am going to add effects go from there. Some songs I start with a clean chorused tone, then go into a distorted sound, and go back to the clean (for example 2nd chance by shinedown) would you recommend pedal board or preset mode? We are also starting to use in ears so I will be running direct into the board. Do you have a certain set up that works best?
Awesome! Congrats on the purchase. I'd recommend using preset mode. That'll keep things simple while you perform. For routing you can either run an XLR from the 500x to the mixer or you can run a short 1/4" cable from the 500x into a DI box.
In preset mode, does the delay/reverb trail continues and fade out when switching to another preset?
What are the settings on the amp I should use when using preset mode? Also.. I want to keep my clean and crunch sound that is build into my Marshall and bypass the hd500x. How is that accomplished?
Hey man which amp setting do u think Is the best? Just for a general good tone.
Question... is there anyway to have the up/down arrows move to the next patch without having to set all the "A's" in different banks as the next patch?
Jon, I dove into this and created some great models. I do have one question though: I have a compressor and tube screamer that I have individually assigned to FS1 and FS2. Is it possible to take those two existing pedals and assign them both to turn on with FS4 without removing the FS1 and FS2? I would like to have the ability to turn them on individually and both at the same time. Every time I tried to assign both to FS4, it erased the previous settings. When I put new pedals in with the same settings and assigned them to FS4, it sounded terrible. Thanks!
Hey, John! Although you can assign multiple effects to the same footswitch, you can't assign more than one footswitch per effect. My recommendation would be to keep them assigned separate to FS1 and FS2, but turn your foot sideways and click both footswitches at the same time to turn them both on/off.
Jon Eleyet sage advice! That’s going to take practice to make sure I don’t fall over!! Thank you sir!
Just got mine Friday. So far just got some basic worship tones in preset mode. Do you find it difficult to get good sounds like the people on forums suggest? I'm so new to tone hunting. I think it sounds good but have an untrained ear.
Awesome! Congrats on the purchase. I've had pretty good luck just diving in and making my own tones from scratch. But, I've also had a lot of experience with pedals and pedalboards, so I try to replicate my real pedalboard with the 500x. Do you think it would be helpful if I made a video showing how to program a basic worship patch on the 500x??
@@JonEleyetGuitar I would watch it. I know good sound when I hear it. I think I'm creating decent patches but idk. Its hard for me to know what will sound good and cut through. You have incredible production just so you know!
@@seanc2550 Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like you're on the right track. After you perform, ask the person running the soundboard what they thought of your tone. They may have some helpful tweaks for you. Also, play with other musicians that you trust and ask what they think of your tone and how well it mixed. That should get you going.
Thx
7:00 +Jon Eleyet, Does this function works also in preset mode?
so nice ! I have a quiestion.there is a lag when changing preset.How can ı fix it ? There is a big problem ı think.
Thank you. How long is the lag? If you have more than half a second of lag, you may need to perform a factory reset of your POD. You'll lose all the presets you made, though and will have to remake them. You can also download the Line 6 500x editor software and connect your 500x to a computer. You can save all your presets to the editor software before you perform the factory reset and then load them back on your 500x after the factory reset. Does that help??
@@JonEleyetGuitar I have the same lag issue, going to try this thing of reset!
I know this is an old video and i may not get a reply but i was wondering, when in abcd mode do you lose the ability to turn the last 4 effects w swtiches altogether
Bro thank you for this video!!! I subscribed! Exactly what I needed, I bought the HD500x and one of the biggest issues I have is the built in pre amps. I don’t want them, I really love my amps sound (fender hot rod deluxe) I just want the effects. I sold a lot of my analog pedals and wanted to minimize. Literally thinking to myself, I want a processor if only I can use this one just for the effects and customizable. Can’t wait to go home after work, plug it in to the computer and start customizing in stomp box mode as well as preset mode. My biggest issue with the pre existing presets is the fluctuation in volume from effects to effects.
2 questions:
1.) what can I do about volume fluctuation with preset effects
2.) I have a combo amp (FHRD) with an fx loop, should I connect it using the 4 cable method I’ve seen on your other video?
Sweetness! Glad to hear it. I agree, a lot of the presets are all over the place with volume levels. I'd recommend finding a bunch of presets that you like. Turn off the amp models in each one. Reorder them so that they're all together in the same set list. Then, starting with the most quiet preset, add a compressor or overdrive effect (or both) and turn up the output level on them. If you turn the output way up and the drive way down on an overdrive effect, you can get a real nice clean boost. Do this with all the quiet presets that you like. I would assume that the loud presets have a ton of distortion effects on them. You may need to turn the output down on those effects so that the preset volume matches the other preset volumes.
I really wish that the 500x had a way to normalize the volumes of all the presets. So, that no matter which preset you pull up, the 500x would automatically adjust the volume level. Oh well, I guess I have to wait until Line 6 consults with me to design their next multi-effect pedal:)
As far as the effects loop goes, you probably don't need to worry about it, unless you really want your delay and reverb to be super clean. When I run actual amps, I just plug my board straight into the front of the amp. I kinda like it when the delay and reverb trails get all gnarly sounding from the amp's overdrive.
Good luck, man!
Jon Eleyet thanks again for all the advice I’m going to do everything you just said, I really like Son of Plexi but the volume jumps up too much. I wish a company out there made a decibel regulator so no matter what effects or processors you’re using the sound gets regulated to the same output. There’s a million dollar idea right there!
P.s. there’s this guy Glenn DeLaune who makes pod 500 patches, I purchased his “Artist” bundle and wow... this guy put a lot of time into perfecting sounds you should check it out. His Slash and his Santana are on point he even has a patch set for CLEAN amps, which address this whole volume issue. For guys like us who want to plug in directly to an amp, it’s his own patches volume controlled for only $10 for a bunch of them. I will buy that one this week, still messing around with the Artist patch I highly recommend you check out his UA-cam video demos. Great investment. Keep doing what you’re doing I’m watching all your videos daily
u can use the pod in the 4 cable method - only for fx. best of both worlds!
Can it be assign Two or more modulation effects in Footswitch Mode?
How do I assign a patch I created to an "ABCD" button in preset/letter mode?
I use a Helix live and can't bring it home... I'm seriously thinking about getting this for home practice.
I highly support that decision 👍
Thanks to this bro..can you teach also your tone for Church worships
What does the FS do in Preset Mode? Seems like a waste if wasn't used for extra preset-switches.
EDIT: 14:23 Oh, seems cool to have an extra stomp access for the FS. But yeah, still prefer if they were additional presets.
Is there a way to utilize the volume pedal without losing an effect slot? My board is set in pedalboard mode and I have to switch on fs1 for the pedal to act as a volume pedal. If so, would that allow me 8 effects plus the volume pedal?
Yes! But, it's a little complicated. Put the cursor over the amp, double click the 'move' button, select 'volume' under the parameter tab and select either 'exp 1' or 'exp 2' under the controller selection. That way, you're literally controlling the amp volume.
Thanks for asking this question. Just got my Pod and was wondering why I couldn’t have that extra effect slot.
Hi Jon, is there a way I can exchange patch destinations (Example I want the 1D Preset to be replaced by 3A, vice versa. 1D making it as 3A and the old 3A now in 1D) Tried the patch destination via the Save button but didn't exchange patch destination rather it overwrite the patch and duplicates. Heeeelp!
Trying to do this bec of the preceeding patches in between the certain patch I want to transfer patch dest
Yeah totally! Press the 'presets' knob to see your setlists. Select the setlist you want with the 'enter' button. Then double click the 'enter' button to show the presets in that setlist. Then use the arrows to find the preset you want to move and press the 'move' button. Use the arrows to move the preset to a new spot then press 'move' to lock the preset into the new spot. Then move the other preset into the spot that you want it. Let me know if this works for you!
Thanks Jon! It worked!!!
Can someone tell me if I can just use effects or do you have to have an amp in the signal chain ? Thanks in advance for help!
You can totally use just the effects. Move the cursor over the amp model. Then turn the knob counter-clockwise until the amp model is removed. That will remove the amp model entirely. Otherwise, you can move the cursor over the amp model and press the enter button. That will disable the amp model, but not remove it. That way you can re-enable the amp model later when you're not playing through a real amp.
Thanks for your PROMPT help , and sharing all this great info!
HD500 user for years. Would love to know your process for setting preset volumes..this takes me forever it seems to dial in using preset mode
Yeah, it's too bad there's not a way to normalize or set a batch of presets to the same level.
hi there! its best to start from scratch, without referring to any preset. just select an amp of ur choice and build ur chain
Does the 500x have dotted 8th delay? Like. True dotted 8th?
Yeah, the 500x does a true dotted 8th. It works perfect with the tap tempo. I had an HD300 a while back and I remember that it couldn't do dotted 8th. I would literally use a calculator to figure out which BPM would give a dotted 8th delay on the HD300😂
Sir , Can I connect with you more ? About tones and Connection ? Please Reply
Rajib, I have been using hd500x for many years ... perhaps we could have a chat?
I use mine in preset mode I find that it works best for my playing.
Right on. Me too. Do you generally make multiple presets for each song, or do you like to keep it simple and just use a few presets for everything??
I do a preset that covers a few things, I don’t use many effects so I’m able to use the top row of buttons without to much limitation, but I do have presets that are specifically for a certain song when needed.
can cabinets be used on this?
Can you have multiple reverbs, let's say you wanted a row of all reverbs is that possible?
Do it!
Can u share your presets on LeaD Sir? Thanks
Bоss gt 100 или hd 500x взять?
Can I use this method to POD Hd500??
Think they're mostly identical, other than DSP improvement, footswitches, and some other components.
This unit is awesome……except…..the fact that you only can program the bottom row as presets is a HUGE disadvantage. Why couldn’t they allow the top row to ALSO be programmed as presets?
I hate that each company call that preset/bank/memory/scene/patch differently
Preset mode will be more utilitarian.
But u need a good player to really get good impressions. And no body on UA-cam is testing these out who can play. I mean come on u need a kick ass lead player.
This is like such a like pedalboard like like like like like....
